Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021028053A1] The present invention relates to Handover (HO) of User Equipment (UE), which consumes a Quality of Service (QoS) flow that is associated with multiple QoS profiles. The invention proposes a network entity for supporting HO of the UE, and proposes a second network entity that is the target of HO of the UE. The network entity is configured to: obtain multiple QoS profiles associated with a QoS flow; obtain QoS capability information indicating whether the second network entity supports more than one QoS profile and/or whether the first network entity supports more than one QoS profile; and provide at least one message to the second network entity, wherein the at least one message includes at least one QoS profile according to the QoS capability information. The second network entity is configured to: receive, from the first network entity or from another network entity, a message including multiple QoS profiles associated with a QoS flow; select one of the multiple QoS profiles; and send a response message including the selected QoS profile to the first network entity or to the another network entity.
